If they can’t stop the outcome, does that mean that some of them might actually vote to confirm her?

Yeah, I don’t think so.

The airlines’ problems are partly due to Democrat governors’ lockdown policies and partly due to their own miserable treatment of travelers. Neither can be fixed with a bailout.

Great point!
It’s tone deaf since many are suffering and need help. It’s a winning issue to grab a hold of.

So you are saying the filibuster would have gone away for SCOTUS if Harry Reid had not trashed it for the other courts first?

I don’t think so. He got the snowball rolling.

Well that is 100 percent true. I just hate giving Reid credit for anything. Lol.

Why bail out airlines before people?

Because we all know that the airline bill has nothing to do with...Oh, I don't know...keeping people actually employed?

(Shakes head)

But if they steal the election, there will be 15 justices in no time.

15 Justices, but no justice.

I like the way the writer makes it sound like it’s the Republicans’ fault the filibuster no longer exists.
Oh, it is. Harry Reid only eliminated the filibuster for lower court judges, not for SCOTUS justices.

‘There was no SCOTUS vacancy at the time he made that switchero. But of course he wouldn’t have invoked the nuclear option for a SCOTUS pick even if there had been such a vacancy. You can take Harry Reid’s word for that . . .

<sarcasm>
